Feature Roundup Announcement Email — What's New
A quarterly feature roundup announcement email — a changelog hero grouping the quarter's upgrades as Added / Fixed / Changed rows, three highlighted in detail, and one clear link to the full changelog.

The prompt
Two ways to build this email in plain language. The fastest is Temway's in-editor assistant — open the chat drawer in the email editor and paste the recipe below. Or connect Claude or ChatGPT via Temway's MCP and paste it there; the agent builds the email step by step. Either way, adapt the copy and colors to your brand.
- An email is a top-to-bottom stack of blocks — the recipe follows that order.
- A
[layout]step becomes a single image (great for heroes); everything else stays live text and links. - Theme the footer to match — the recipe's last step does exactly that.

it into your workspace, then ask the in-editor assistant to rebrand it. Over MCP, tell
your agent to clone the Temway share vIOVJeG5DLMyEvnFf4LAf and rebrand. For the
full model, point an MCP agent at get_concept — email-structure,

The email you send when you have been shipping and it is time to tell everyone. A tidy changelog block groups this quarter’s upgrades as Added, Fixed, and Changed up top, three short lines below make the case for the ones worth opening the app for today, and a single button carries readers to the full changelog. It reads like a friend catching you up — no hype, no wall of release notes, just “here is what changed and why you’ll care.”

Make it yours
- Swap the four card labels and the three detail lines for your quarter’s actual shipments — lead with the ones people asked for.
- Rewrite the title and subtitle to match your cadence, whether you ship monthly, quarterly, or every sprint.
- Recolor the indigo accent to your brand — keep one accent color throughout, one clear CTA, and one hairline between the roundup and the close.
About announcements email templates
An announcement earns its own send when it's time-sensitive or significant enough to need full attention on its own subject line — a launch, a leadership change, a funding round, or a policy update, rather than one more line in the next newsletter issue.
See all announcements templates →What kind of news deserves a standalone announcement email instead of a newsletter mention?
Anything time-sensitive or significant enough to need its own subject line and full attention — a launch, a leadership change, a funding round, or a policy update that changes how customers use your product.
How long should a product-update announcement be?
Long enough to explain what shipped and why it matters, short enough to read in under a minute — the templates below separate a short "what's new" summary from optional deeper detail below it.
How do I announce a leadership change without it feeling like a press release?
The new-CEO and leadership templates below lead with a short, human bio and a direct quote rather than a formal title-and-tenure rundown.
Should an announcement email include a call to action?
Not always — a policy update or leadership announcement can stand on its own, while a product-launch announcement should point to one clear next step, like trying the feature or booking a demo.
